Milwaukee County Clerk's Office to offer online marriage license, passport appointment booking

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Milwaukee County is making it a little easier to apply for marriage licenses and passports. 

Starting Monday, Dec. 6, you can book an appointment through the county clerk's online booking system. 

“We are excited to introduce this online booking system that will make it easier for our customers to schedule their appointments,” said Clerk Christenson. “This new tool is part of my ongoing effort to modernize the County Clerk’s Office and utilize technology to improve upon every service we provide."

By law, applicants need to appear in person to apply, but the new online booking system makes it more convenient to start the process.

“My office continues to provide the highest level of customer service possible at the lowest cost to the taxpayers and this takes us a step further in that direction," Christenson said. "Since we are utilizing existing technology already owned by the County, the new online appointment tool comes at no extra cost."
